What makes Smolny different from other programs?
Smolny is the only college in Russia to offer a broad range of liberal arts courses along with Russian as a Second Language. Strictly speaking, Smolny is not a “study abroad program.” It is a four-year college with a diverse curriculum. Smolny’s unique character allows students from the United States to be immersed in classes with Russian students. International students can take Russian as well as other academic courses that can meet requirements for the B.A. degree at their home college or university.
